Relocated to make way for widening of the highway it was located on, this historic stone wall weighed thirty tons.  This wall was built by the WPA (Works Progress Administration), the organization started in 1935 by order of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  Over the course of eight years, eight million Americans were employed to build schools, bridges,  roads, and other public works projects.
